Document Summary
Connected speech when a word is pronounced carefully as single item when words are spoken together as an utterance. Used in clinical practice to assess phonetic inventory used to assess natural speech production phonetic identity of words can change. Phonetic changes related to articulation of nearby phonemes. Lips rounded for /s/ in soon vs seen ( labialized /s/ ) /n/ produced at teeth (not alveolar ridge) in tenth vs. tent (dentalized /n/) Assimilation: segments adopt features from neighboring sounds. Vowel reduction: vowel quality changes (becomes centralized) Where phonemes take on properties of neighboring sounds. Example: in was she example above, /z/ assimilates place of articulation of / / Regressive assimilation: when the identity of a phoneme is modi ed by the phoneme following it: anticipatory. Progressive assimilation: when the identity of a phoneme is modi ed by the one preceding it: perseverative. Epenthesis: the addition of a phoneme to a word.
